Inconsistent sort order

[mockdeep]

It appears to be OS dependent, but packages keep shifting back and forth within npm-shrinkwrap.json, e.g.:

       "dependencies": {
-        "jsonparse": {
-          "version": "0.0.5"
-        },
         "JSONStream": {
           "version": "0.10.0"
+        },
+        "jsonparse": {
+          "version": "0.0.5"
         }
       }

I suspect it has something to do with MacOS not being case sensitive. We also have people using Linux.

Is this with npm2? I think npm3 sorts entries.

[mockdeep]

No, I'm on npm version 3.8.1:

$ npm --version
3.8.1

I think sort order was what led to the creation of https://github.com/evocateur/shrinkwarp - adding sort order into shronkwrap would be quite tricky without changing quite a lot I think.

[mockdeep]

Hmm, looks like that was made for npm 2, though. Do you not want sorting to be part of shonkwrap?

[glenjamin]

I'm not against it, I just like how small it is at the moment. Sorting would require quite a bit more code I think.

[mockdeep]

It is pretty concise. I might want to poke around with it a bit, and potentially tack on some additional functionality (e.g. dedupe). Would it be better for me to fork it?

Side note: I don't see a license file. Not sure what the procedure is on forking when one isn't present.

[glenjamin]

The license is BSD-3, as noted in the package.json.

If you manage to come up with an easy way to get things sorted, a PR would be ace.
